Question Tennis Discrepancy

There is an amazing discrepancy with the Lapentti/Przysiezny tennis match at Estoril that closes-off at 18:00 tonight. NSWTAB currently has Lapentti at $6.50 yet he is the fave on Betfair at $1.20, and Przysiezny is the outsider at $2.60.

According to the world rankings, Nicolas Lapentti is ranked 126 and Przysiezny at 319. There is another Lapentti, initial G, who is ranked at 292. It would appear that the TAB has got it terribly wrong.

They weren't quick enough in suspending it. I had a bet on Lapentti.

Got him at $6.50. I'm hoping I don't get notification they cancelled the bet even though I don't think they can????

Yeah, it's still suspended.

I don't understand it. It was obviously a mistake in setting the prices, and I don't just mean getting the two Lapenttis mixed up. After all, according to what you said, the lower ranked Lapentti (292), is still ranked ahead of the other guy (319), so he shouldn't have been $6.50 either. Weird.

Are you sure there's no injury involved here???

Question

Hi, Sportz.

That thought passed through my mind, but one would assume that the Betfair punters would also be aware of it and that it would be reflected in the market, or if he was injured/couldn't play that Betfair would also have suspended the event.

It seems the TAB has permanently suspended the match. Instead, why didn't they recalculate the odds and reinstate betting?

Question

Hi, Chuck, it is Nicholas.

The TAB now shows the match as N. Lapentti vs. Almagro instead of Lapentti vs. Przysiezny, and have suspended it. Betfair still shows the match as Lapentti vs Przysiezny. Who is playing who? Maybe its the TAB playing with us???
